NASCAR Cutting Down On Start And Parkers

There has been grumbling about start and parkers in the NASCAR series running just a couple of laps and then parking their cars. It was so bad that some cars didn't even have a pit crew. Some track owners were mad because they would pay these guys $70,000 and up for running 10-20 laps or so.
However, this past Sunday, the race at Sonoma saw that the last place car ran 65 laps out of 110 laps. Even Dave Blaney, a notorious start and parker ran 86 laps before his car died or ran out of gas. He even beat Kyle Bush, Reagan Smith and Martin Truex Jr.
While this is just one race, could it be that NASCAR is making the start and parkers actually race a little longer?
